30 whoppers fishing achivement

[Mrrshan68]

So people are finding this hard?
Cause i thought it would be given all the chatter around it but its kinda not?
Just go to area 17 scarlet forest and there are always 1-2 whoppers in the lake at any time.
Every kind spawns there squid at night gauju and trevally during the day, tuna in plenty and swordfish in fallow.
the minigame is kinda tedious but its not all that hard?
I think i messed up every single jump cause i can never tell if its a left right or upward leap, and the line never breaks.
You can also make the minigame way shorter by just spamming up and down on L stick after the fish is interested in the bait, they will follow it and you can get them very close to shore so its only a short reel in.

Only issue ive had is sometiems a fish will be bugged and just not go for the bait, if it shows zero interest after 5 or so tries i just assume its bugged and give up on it.
Oh and sushifish taking my bait sometimes. no idea why sushifish like dusk/tuff lures but they do apparently?

I am using the ranger deco that "improves fishing" no idea what that does, anyone know?
Maybe it helps and people are not using it?
Or fishing in another area?

I doubt anyone finds it hard.

Every time I get a whopper on it swims away from which I assume means I'm supposed to press W and then the line just snaps. It's fine when they swim back and fourth but as soon as they swim away from me I have no idea what this game wants me to do. What am I doing wrong?

What is difficult and I am still at it: getting crowns for all the fishes.

That is not something you can influence really - putting aside the respawn by rest.

The only time they swim away is when they initially bite or when you land them. In that case just press the standard reel in button (right trigger on a controller no idea on KB+M), but whatever button you use to reel in a standard fish.
Took me a couple tries to figure that one out too, you gotta wait till they bite and swim away then you have like 1 sec to push the button or the line snaps.
I guess its "setting the hook" in fisherman talk

I think your line is breaking. From what I understand, and I could be wrong, I’ll give you the advice I was given.

First and foremost equip the Outdoorsman decoration as that helps with fishing.

Secondly, once you’ve hooked a whopper, angle your fishing rod in the direction the fish is swimming unless it’s going into the rocks. If it’s swimming to the left, hold your fishing rod to the left. If it’s fishing to the left and heading into the rocks, hold to the right.

Repeat this process until the fish stops moving. Now you will hold your reel in button and constantly rock your fishing rod up and down to slowly inch the fish toward you. After a few tugs the fish will go back to swimming again.

If it jumps out of the water you can stun it and do the reel-up-and-down a little while it’s stunned. Also to note Swordfish are jerks and are notorious for breaking fishing lines.

When the fish gets closer to shore you can attempt to reel it in all the way. It’ll never truly get to the shore line, you’ll just yank it out of the water from a good 10-20 feet away, it feels odd.

Nevermind I just wasn't setting the hook

Not hard, only annoying. Worst achievement in a game. Also fishing is s hit in this game and pointless. And I'm not even talking about f uckret vision blocking while fishing.
